• 2:20
  Ooh, but the movie I've seen a ton nice just finished the Netflix show,
• 2:29
  so we'll see. Oh how much I remember? Honestly, your knowledge
• 2:34
  is like on par of me. Just replace those two books with like,
• 2:37
  I've read them in high school and then I played some of the video game.
• 2:43
  But basically we're on the same level. Incorre, Okay, Yeah,
• 2:46
  well matched, It sounds like you're ready. Uh, welcome, Audra,
• 2:49
  Welcome, Jason, thank you for being here. But you'll need some opponents.
• 2:53
  This is a battle of the bands, after all. So to my
• 2:55
  metaphysical left, he is a voice actor, a podcast and crucially a Canadian.
• 3:00
  It's Drew Shulman. I realized as we're doing this, I'm like,
• 3:05
  I'm the only Canadian this remark. And he is a comic book artist,
• 3:10
  a podcaster and not Canadian. It's John Williams. It's true, I'm not.
• 3:16
  I'm an asshole California opposite. Have you been to Canada before? I
• 3:23
  have not. I grew up with it with with a lot of nice people
• 3:29
  though, so it's it's like being around around a bunch of Canadians right here
• 3:34
  you go, politeness of aple syrup. I know the next people with it
• 3:38
  you're referring to. No, Yeah, it's like that sounds it up pretty
• 3:40
  well. Nice and maple syrup. Yeah, i'd Scott Pilgrim of course yourself,
• 3:46
  So Drue, I don't want to stereotype you, but are you a
• 3:49
  big Scott Pilgrim fan? Yeah? I remember seeing the comic book whenever I
• 3:53
  went to comic book shops and having this weird like, oh, it's like
• 3:57
  it's trying to be an anime but like americanized art, and I was like
• 4:00
  really thrown off by it. Then the trailer for the movie came out,
• 4:02
  I was like, Oh, that's what it's about, by every issue and
• 4:06
  make my entire life's image fantastic. And John, how about yourself? Are
• 4:14
  you familiar with Scott Pilgrim? Oh? Boy, like, I know all
• 4:16
  about Scott Pilgrim, having been around in comic shops for my entire life.
• 4:20
  But no, I'm I'm just familiar with the movie. I'm coming in here
• 4:26
  as the as the layman. Lovely, lovely stuff. We love that.
• 4:29
  I mean, for so long, Jason has been the one in that role
• 4:32
  for so many times. It's nice to finally pass off the Dunce's hat.
• 4:38
  I just feel like there's be more episodes. I wouldn't defend my teammate.
• 4:42
  He is a pro wrestling expert experts. Okay, okay, I don't like
• 4:46
  that. You're on the same side is reading this? No, jud you'll
• 4:55
  you will do excellent. As always, the games can be played by anyone,
• 5:00
  but it really helps to have a Scott Pilgrim fan right by your side.
• 5:03
  Yeah, yeah, that is that is very, very comfortingly glad I
• 5:08
  can be comforting another Canadian staored hope, there we go. That's so comforting,
• 5:14
  so everyone says about that back get fucked. Yeah, okay, team
• 5:18
  Simmo down, Simmo down. You've arrived at band practice, but you haven't
• 5:23
  even come up with a name as good as sex bo bomb yet. So
• 5:27
  I'd like each pat to come up with a Scott Pilgrim themed team name.
• 5:30
  Please. Let's begin with these two trouble makers in the room, Molder and
• 5:32
  Jason. So we don't have names that are good as sex babomb okay,
• 5:38
  but we're pretty dang close. Adra. Yeah. Because band names are a
• 5:43
  great starting point, we were like, let's do band names, but we're
• 5:46
  gonna swap out one word. So I think the some of the ones that
• 5:50
  made the cut we both work out. So flex ba bombs flex b Yeah.
• 5:58
  We play role playing games, so x ba bombs. I see a
• 6:01
  pattern. We also had on the list Trash at Demonhead, Yeah, Garbage
• 6:08
  and sink Yes. Yeah. We also tried to do a thing of like
• 6:14
  switching out demon in Clash at Demonhead. But all we could come up with
• 6:16
  this Seamen heads off. That's off the table. That's off the table.
• 6:23
  No, No, sounds like a front runner to me. I feel like,
• 6:30
  yeah, which which would you like to go with? There? Was
• 6:33
  one I thought of before, and I wanted to surprise you with this one.
• 6:38
  There's the subspace highways that Ramona travels, and I thought of sub space
• 6:43
  whale highways, just as because you like space, I love space whales.
• 6:46
  Yeah, yeah, so the sub subspace whale highway. I'm down with that.
• 6:53
  Oh oh, subspace whale highway. I'm sorry we workshopped all that.
• 7:00
  It was a great bit. Yeah, sub space whale Highway. I just
• 7:08
  want to ask, what is your favorite space whale? I feel like it's
• 7:11
  a weird, like there's so many in sci fi fandoms. Do you have
• 7:15
  a particular favorite? Probably Hitchhiker's Guide is probably my face. I've been debating
• 7:20
  that tattoo for years. That whale is my favorite. That'd be so good.
• 7:25
  We also recently watched Fantasia two thousand, also has space whales. I
• 7:29
  hadn't I hadn't realized that it's one of the opening numbers. There's whales and
• 7:32
  they're in the ocean and then they are in space. Almost is enough space
• 7:36
  whales to make a quick fire around out of. Actually, how do you
• 7:45
  feel about space nar walls. I'm pretty intersectional as far as my whale based
• 7:56
  feminism. Yeah, it's a feminism I would have in the other roots.
• 8:00
  I know she can hear me say this, but there was a point in
• 8:01
  her life where and like this is recently, like while we were together,
• 8:05
  that she figured out that nar walls are real animal she thought. My heart
• 8:11
  flutters when I think about that time. It was probably too late in life
• 8:16
  for me as well, because they seem insane. I also found it only
• 8:22
  the males have the horn too. Thing makes sense nature sex, say,
• 8:26
  question mark. Probably. And now we're back at the whale based feminism again.
• 8:31
  Okay, well we have subspace whale Highway. But let's find out who
• 8:35
  they'll be facing, Drew John. I had a few ideas, but John,
• 8:41
  I'm curious if anything comes to mind for you before I ran off mine.
• 8:43
  I mean, I've got a few ideas too, but I feel like
• 8:46
  stealing splash its seaman head. But maybe not. Oh that's so it's pre
• 8:54
  damn good. I'll give you that one. But let's see, I've got
• 8:58
  let's see. You want to take turns? Yeah, I want to go
• 9:01
  one for one. You want to start us off? I'm curious what will
• 9:05
  angry with? Sure, I've got four play bombs very similar route because I
• 9:11
  also wanted to go verb verb for doing it. Uh and Mario Villains.
• 9:18
  I was like, fucking barana plants. That's good keeping up the trend of
• 9:24
  the dropping the F bomb in my titles. My team names have here,
• 9:30
  I have a brand I have to keep how I decided I dig it.
• 9:35
  Let's see, I got a cool gay roommates. Yes, I really love
• 9:43
  that one. I was also trying to find a clash on the boys ones
• 9:48
  with just two of us, I was like John and the Canadian. The
• 9:52
  last one I got was just the World. That's good. My last one,
• 10:03
  too, was also based off a title which was Scott Pilgrim Sad Little
• 10:07
  Life or Precious Little Life. That was a new Precious Little Team or Sad
• 10:09
  Little Team. Yeah, oh hey, you're you're the You're the expert.
• 10:16
  So I'll leave it in Uh, I'll leave it in your hand. I
• 10:18
  think because it's funny, but also because I think the title of the episode
• 10:22
  being versus the World might be one of the best things we could do for
• 10:26
  this podcast. I want to take that one. Yeah, it's clever,
• 10:31
  it's witty. If I give out bonus points for the team name that'd be
• 10:35
  some of some of that happening. I want you to title it Hell World,
• 10:39
  the First Ruined whatever, our team, you forgot your team whatever,
• 10:46
  whatever. I said it. Honestly, it's tempting to switch our name to
• 10:50
  Scott Pilgrim. Scott Pilgrim, Scott Pilgrim versus the World would be but no,
• 11:01
  we've got Subspace Whale Highway. It kind of makes the title a bit
• 11:05
  more unique. Yes, don't know what, oh that's good for, but
• 11:07
  you know it's that I'm picturing a whale meeting the Earth and sad. Yeah,
• 11:13
  yes, yes, oh, well, there's some great team names.
• 11:16
  We've got Subspace Whale Highway versus the Worst. It worked that time, if
• 11:22
  it doesn't work again, all right. And if you're listening to this and
• 11:26
  thinking, well, I'm along for the ride, but I don't know who
• 11:28
  this Scott Pilgrim guy is. Is he a person from the Highlands who goes
• 11:33
  on a religious journey? Yeah, like Scott Scott. Yeah, yes,
• 11:39
  yeah, all right, here's oudre with a little segment we like to call
• 11:43
  passing Knowledge. Scott Pilgrim is a series of graphic novels by Canadian author and
• 11:50
  comic book artist Brian Lee O'Malley. The original edition of the series consists of
• 11:56
  six digest sized black and white volumes, released between two thousand and twenty ten
• 12:01
  by Ony Press. It was later republished from twenty twelve to twenty fifteen by
• 12:05
  Fourth Estate, an imprint of HarperCollins, followed by a film, Scott Pilgrim
• 12:11
  Versus the World, directed by Edgar Wright, and a video game also released
• 12:13
  in twenty ten. An animated series adaptation titled Scott Pilgrim Takes Off released on
• 12:20
  Netflix in November twenty twenty three, all of it culminating to the final boss
• 12:24
  a gate Leapers episode in twenty twenty four see Not Such a Bad Guy after
• 12:31
  All. The series revolves around the titular Scott Pilgrim, a slacker, part
• 12:35
  time bass player who's dating a high school student. While recovering from a traumatic
• 12:39
  breakup. He starts a tentative romance with Ramona Flowers, soon discovering that Ramona
• 12:46
  possesses superpowers. Not only that, but to date her, he needs to
• 12:50
  defeat her seven evil supervillain exes, who all have similar abilities. The story
• 12:56
  forces both Scott and Ramona to come to terms with their respective pasth relationships,
• 13:01
  behaviors, and the fact that bred apparently makes you fat. I don't get
• 13:05
  fat. No, why would I get fat? Bread makes you fat?
• 13:09
  Bread maker fat. The Scott Pilgrim series received widespread acclaim and garnered a cult
• 13:15
  following, with audiences loving the humor and stylistic elements taken from music and video
• 13:20
  games, and especially how it spoke to the apathy felt by many in the
• 13:24
  millennial generation. Now, if you'll excuse me, we are gate Leapers,
• 13:28
  and we're here to make you think about fandom, said, feel blad and
• 13:30
  stuff one, two or three fart Yeah, better than mine? Nice,
• 13:35
  beautifully well done. I love it. That was it fun researching Scott Pilgrim.
• 13:43
  That was so much fun. I tried to get something in about the
• 13:46
  cast of the twenty ten film because I think financially, I don't know if
• 13:50
  that one it didn't do well, be real, it didn't do great,
• 13:56
  but the cast and was incredible. We have Bree Larson in one of her
• 14:01
  first big things. We got one of the Chris is one of the superhero
• 14:05
  Chris is Whitch Chris. He's in it. We've got Anna Kendrick, she
• 14:11
  was a before that. She was in Twilight, but even people who've seen
• 14:16
  Twilight will be like, oh, ship, she was in Twilight, so
• 14:18
  it's her Aubrey Plaza. Only one season of Parks and rec had aired,
• 14:24
  and so it wasn't a thing yet. This the cast was incredibleig millennial cast,
• 14:31
  and it may come up in a game again we make it a chance
• 14:35
  visit. Not only not only did you have Captain America, you had a
• 14:39
  superman in their team, Yeah, Brandon Ralph. Yeah. So it's incredible.
• 14:46
  There's someone in this cast for everyone in the fact that they all like
• 14:50
  stayed friends afterwards and went on to fully reprise their roles in the animated series
• 14:54
  like the same cast no one was cast. Yeah about that is amazing to
• 15:05
  think he's the famous one now. I don't know what you're laughing about.
• 15:11
  That's correct, he's the most It's like the old sin Sisters. We all
• 15:18
  grew up doing two of them. Where are they now? Not Wanda,
• 15:22
  that's where swimming in their billions like Scrooge mccag valid point. Yeah, just
• 15:31
  before we get to today's games, I've asked each player to bring in a
• 15:35
  muse, something that inspires them or something they love from this particular fandom.
• 15:39
  Scott Pilgrim is inspiring to me because thanks to Michael Sarah, people wanted to
• 15:43
  start kissing pasty white boys around the time, around the time that I wanted
• 15:48
  to start kissing. Thank you, Michael. Nice Jason, we'll start with
• 15:54
  you. What's inspiring you from the world of Scotty Doesn't Know? Oh man,
• 15:58
  I I love this guy. I love him so much. You know
• 16:02
  who I'm gonna say. But I particularly like his role in this movie.
• 16:06
  I think Lucas Lee. Lucas Lee. Yes, it's just it's just something
• 16:11
  so fun. It makes me really appreciate Chris Evans as an actor because there's
• 16:15
  this He's not the best actor in the world, let's be honest, but
• 16:18
  in the roles, in certain roles that he does play, he knows how
• 16:22
  to exemplify that aspect of what he's supposed to be. So like in Knives
• 16:26
  Out, he perfectly plays like a rich asshole. In the Fantastic Four movies,
• 16:32
  even like he's a perfect Johnny Storm, just the most arrogant, you
• 16:34
  know, naive young guy. And the funny thing about Lucas Lee is Lucas
• 16:41
  Lee is probably the most Chris Evans guy ever. You know it's so funny,
• 16:45
  and I just hey, there bro tout. I love I just love
• 16:51
  a good characters. Lucaslee just I can't stop doing the voice. So don't
• 17:00
  play my ego because I will say it throughout the look. As long as
• 17:06
  it's a choice, opportun opportune moments, at key moments, you can you
• 17:10
  can bring out the voice. It's fine. So only a matter of time
• 17:12
  before this. You want to say it, I want to say it.
• 17:17
  Don't tempt me. Okay, Well that's fantastic. Muse always love a character,
• 17:22
  and he is a fantastic character. Yeah, moving on over to your
• 17:26
  teammate in Subspace, Whale Highway or dra what's inspiring you from Scott Pilgrim,
• 17:32
  I am inspired by the Clash at demon Head and the music in the movie,
• 17:37
  specifically one I love Bree Larson. Now after that I was like,
• 17:41
  hell yeah, Bree Larsen also got me into the band Metric, which did
• 17:47
  the music. Yes, that was performed as Clash at demon Head. That
• 17:52
  was done by a band called Metric, So widened my music knowledge, got
• 17:56
  me into Bree Larsen made me feel a little like cooler and more villainous in
• 18:00
  an era when I needed to be to get through I needed that to get
• 18:06
  through college, and I even tried. We had like events at school where
• 18:11
  it was like you would perform like talent showcase things, but there was decorations
• 18:17
  and people would come in costumes and whatever. One of the themes was games
• 18:22
  and me and a band would always do a song every year, and I
• 18:26
  wanted to get them to do Black Sheep so bad. But one they're like,
• 18:30
  oh, you have to have known that movie and know what it's about
• 18:33
  and know the things. And also it was a Christian university and there there's
• 18:37
  a part about you take a ride from anyone, so it was not the
• 18:41
  greatest choice. Well, look, this isn't a Christian university. Do you
• 18:45
  want to have a song? Hello Voices? I was just gonna say,
• 18:52
  I knew you, and so it's a good song. It is. It's
• 19:00
  so fun. Oh yeah, so that's my inspiration. Hell yeah, I'm
• 19:03
  gonna take that as Metrica shout out to a really good band, Yeah,
• 19:07
  Metric and a great metrim in system. I couldn't agree more. Drew all
• 19:15
  right, and moving moving on over to the world, and we will begin
• 19:19
  with my fellow user of the Metric system drew what is inspiring you? I
• 19:25
  had him over like sitting in my office doing the little spin and seeing I
• 19:27
  have so much dam merged from this franchise, like ironically not the books themselves.
• 19:33
  They have gone missing at some point in my move I need to replace
• 19:36
  them. But I have like unique figures. I literally looking at the pitt
• 19:40
  and board. I have the Bread Bakes You Fat Clash, a Demon Heads
• 19:42
  Sex ba Bomb. I have the singing briefcase from the video game. Oh
• 19:48
  my god. I have a hardcore for this franchise. Oh my god,
• 19:55
  that's my partner, extreme levels. But the one that I think is the
• 20:00
  most to me is that I got to meet Brian le O'Malley at a signing
• 20:03
  action of these books Behind Me Seconds, which will be coming to movie theaters
• 20:08
  soon when it eventually gets production. It's it's confirmed, it's happening, and
• 20:12
  you're right is working on it, just need the week. But it was
• 20:17
  it was meeting him and seeing someone who like so did not fit the mold
• 20:22
  of what your classic like someone who's made it. He still felt very humble
• 20:26
  and like himself and like this whole thing was too big for him almost and
• 20:32
  as someone who's like in a creative field, the podcasting and the acting and
• 20:34
  the putting out content. It gives me so much hope anoying those people out
• 20:38
  there who do this like weirdly unique, niche thing that you don't think would
• 20:44
  become this stellar, worldwide phenomenon, and you can find your people and still
• 20:48
  be your weird little self and make it happen. So yeah to Brian le
• 20:53
  O'Malley, Yeah, to Brian le O'Malley, I agree with that sentiment for
• 20:59
  obvious reasons. But it is so good that like there are people out there
• 21:03
  who just seem to still be normal and have found their people people exactly.
• 21:10
  Yeah, I guess that was me meaning normal in the sense of not a
• 21:12
  billionaire psychopath. Yeah. Yes, that's a fantastic mus Drew. But but
• 21:18
  John, if you got a muse from from this franchise that you're so familiar
• 21:23
  with, Yeah, yeah, you know, it wasn't much. It wasn't
• 21:27
  as much of a struggle as I thought it would be. I mean,
• 21:29
  normally, when I come on this show, it's it's the soundtrack, but
• 21:33
  this time it's not. Sorry, Adra, but it's okay, that's fair.
• 21:37
  It's all nine you know, I had to give this a little bit
• 21:41
  of thought, but what I came up with was, I'm motivated in this
• 21:47
  episode by you know, this is the first time I've ever done it without
• 21:49
  my creative partner Ben Robinson. That everyone, all the all the listeners know
• 21:53
  and he comes on all the time. But I'm channeling Scott Pilgrim's like anxiety
• 22:00
  and his angst. I can I can identify with Scott Pilgrim when I'm watching
• 22:07
  the movie and he's pining over Ramona or you know, or just just feeling
• 22:10
  angst or anxiety about anything and everything. You know, I went through a
• 22:15
  lot of that in my especially in my younger years. So I'm I'm I'm
• 22:19
  entering into this episode with with a bit of anxiety, not knowing much about
• 22:26
  the property and you know, not wanting to let Drew down, and it's
• 22:30
  all it's almost too much, but you know, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
• 22:33
  go ahead and give it, give it my best shot. They can't all
• 22:36
  be Superman in Indiana. Jones, Oh, that's such a good muse.
• 22:41
  Yes, we love anxious heroes and this podcast is fueled by anxiety. Yes,
• 22:48
  right, teams, let's avoid our girlfriend by leaping out of the window
• 22:51
  and into the cold city. That is Round one. Round one is our
• 23:00
  trivia round, which this time is called Defeat the Evil Exes Classic. I
• 23:07
  thought I would have here the return of the high tech Gatesleeper's trivia board,
• 23:11
  the famous, the famous whiteboard, but I realize it's currently being used as
• 23:15
  a menu for some menu are far far you know, I mean. But
• 23:23
  that's okay, because this time it's not a set of random words. This
• 23:27
  time you actually have to defeat the Evil Exes via trivia. So if you
• 23:33
  could imagine on a board the six evil Exes. I've grouped the twins together
• 23:37
  for obvious reasons. Those will be the names you can select that will each
• 23:42
  correspond with a question. Some of those questions are straight up fandom trivia related
• 23:48
  to the X you selected. A couple have looser connections, but it's your
• 23:52
  choice. I'm letting you choose your own path to victory. So you must
• 23:56
  fight all of these exes one by one, team by team. So be
• 24:00
  three questions for each team, and we will be We will begin with subspace,
• 24:04
  whale, Highway. Pick an X. We're gonna choose the obvious obvious
• 24:10
  answer here the first one. Amuse Lucas Lee. Oh before one he knows
• 24:18
  the name of Yeah, Lucas Okay, you are going with Lucas Lee.
• 24:26
  Let's see how related to Lucas Lee. This question is which film did both
• 24:30
  Lucas Lee and Chris Evans star in? A Snow PIERSA, B, The
• 24:38
  Perfect Score or C Knives Out? Wait. Lucas Lee is a real person,
• 24:44
  so within the canon of Scott Pilgrim, Lucas Lee starred in one of
• 24:48
  these films. What it can't be Knives Out? Can it? Because that's
• 24:52
  way later? I feel like I so if we look at the timeline,
• 24:57
  Yeah, what were the other two other than Knive snow Piercer and The Perfect
• 25:02
  Skull? Perfect? Oh? I think the Perfect Score might be the Chris
• 25:07
  Evans directorial debut, which is not awesome. He's listening and he's gonna be
• 25:14
  so sad. I love you and you're the only man I would ever kiss
• 25:18
  on the lips. I don't know if that's a compliment towards you at all,
• 25:22
  like if you want that, but uh, we could keep digging the
• 25:26
  hole. We could go with the Perfect Storm. If that's Perfect Skull,
• 25:33
  the Perfect Score, it would make sense because it's kind of a meta thing
• 25:37
  if it's if it is his directorial debut. Snow Piercer was directed by the
• 25:40
  same guy who did Parasite and is later then Scott Pilgrim. So yeah,
• 25:47
  let's go perfect. Yeah, coffee content with knives out? It would be
• 25:52
  crazy, wouldn't that knives show out? What? What? What? What
• 25:56
  are we talking about? Is he going with the perfect skull? Yeah,
• 26:00
  let's do that. It's no, it's snow piers really. Yeah, it's
• 26:03
  mentioned in the in the film that four years seven stars in snow Pisa,
• 26:08
  so it probably was in pre production or something. The films that he mentions
• 26:12
  he's got to go, got to go starr in. That's crazy, that's
• 26:17
  super cool. It's a very obscure one. I was like, I look,
• 26:19
  vaguely sure was that one, but like I couldn't remember for sure.
• 26:22
  That's really crazy. So that's a tough question. But fun, fun little
• 26:26
  bit. Yeah, I'm the winner because I learned, but just for the
• 26:32
  purposes of the game. So the world winner even when he loses. How
• 26:40
  dare you talking of my copy? Not fun? The world? What a
• 26:47
  wonderful team name, what a wonderful world? Which which X would you like
• 26:51
  to go with? Does one of them call out to you? John?
• 26:53
  Well, I was talking ship to uh to the other team earlier about knowing
• 26:59
  the Nameames, and it was only because I have you on my team,
• 27:02
  so I certainly don't know. I think one of them's name Envy Right's character.
• 27:08
  Yes, technically, Oh that's true. She's the one that broke his
• 27:15
  heart. Yeah, we could stick with the gender and go with Roxy,
• 27:18
  my favorite. Oh that that's perfect. That's what I was gonna say.
• 27:22
  Next. There we go, nice and we're going with Roxy. Richter.
• 27:29
  Here is your question about Roxy. Roxy's sword can turn into a chain whip.
• 27:33
  This is said to be an homage to which Soul Caliber series character A
• 27:40
  Cassandra, Alexandra, b Isabella Valentine or c song Me. Nah, oh
• 27:48
  you want their full names? I only know her name again? Can you
• 27:51
  read the second one? Second one is Isabella Valentine? Yeah, John,
• 27:56
  how well do you know Soul Caliber? Not well? I remember were playing
• 28:00
  it when it was brand spanking new on like PS one. I never belayed
• 28:04
  the first one. I only got into the second one. But I had
• 28:07
  a buddy who very consistently ran the damn Chase Sword character and kicked my ass
• 28:11
  because he learned all of her bloody freaking combos. So my issue is,
• 28:17
  I know her name, but I know her as Ivy, and I I
• 28:19
  have to guess that it's the second one because I know the first one I
• 28:23
  know because Sandra Alexandra is a character from Soul Cawber. That one I know.
• 28:27
  The third one you gave me again, which was a song me Nah,
• 28:33
  who I also know as a character. So the only one whose name
• 28:36
  I don't know that I'm guessing would be Ivy's real name has to be be.
• 28:40
  So I don't have any reason to believe it, but I was leaning
• 28:44
  there or not believe it, but any any motivation to choose above any other.
• 28:49
  But I was feeling B, so I will fully support that, all
• 28:53
  right, going with B. Isabella Valentine, it absolutely is God you have.
• 28:59
  You've not fallen from my trap of not getting the nickname that I was
• 29:02
  gonna say. I'm like, oh, she has a real name, doesn't
• 29:03
  she? Damn it? Full Christian names for us. Most scandily clad character
• 29:10
  in viewing history, in my opinion, Yeah, I love when initials are
• 29:15
  a name. So Isabella Valentine I, Oh, it's Ivy, which is
• 29:22
  also years yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, she's I can remember her
• 29:27
  middle I never heard her last name, but it's Natalie with some of the
• 29:30
  v also. Oh, Scott Scott Pilgrim trivia or all over the place Scott
• 29:37
  Pilgrim trivia. I have non devolged so far based on Jesus said, I
• 29:42
  like, my hands are bleeding from clenching so hard not spouting. Let's let's
• 29:48
  not have Drew's hands bleed for too much longer and we'll move back on over
• 29:52
  to subspace whale highway pick an X. So I got to choose last time.
• 29:56
  Who are you feeling? Let's go for the big one, g man,
• 30:00
  Gideon, you go in for Gideon Graves? Goose goose? Yes,
• 30:06
  Okay, here's your question related to Gideon Graves. How did Gideon Graves form
• 30:11
  the League of Evil Exes A placing an ad in the classified section of the
• 30:17
  Toronto Star, b writing an embarrassing drunken rent on Craigslist, or c sending
• 30:25
  out a signal to the chips he had covertly planted on the other exes.
• 30:30
  Interesting. I don't remember the origin of the league at all. I don't
• 30:34
  know if I remember the origin, What if it's not the third one,
• 30:41
  Ramona has a chip? Oh okay in the film at least. Yeah.
• 30:45
  Yeah, the third one feels the most because I know the comic is a
• 30:48
  lot more bombastic than the movie in terms of like abilities and the things that
• 30:53
  people can do. So the third one feels right mm hmm, it's either
• 30:59
  going to be the first one or the third one. Yeah, well,
• 31:00
  the second one, because I feel like they're they're not even acknowledging it terrible,
• 31:08
  because it's like the third one is the most super villain and the first
• 31:11
  one is the most mundane. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Hello seeking
• 31:15
  other people who dated a woman named Ramona Flowers for a for a club.
• 31:23
  Yeah. He's like a billionaire too. I think I think three is plausible.
• 31:27
  Millionaires don't put wanted ads out. Yeah yeah, so you're going with
• 31:33
  c sending out a signal to the chips you had covertly planted on the other
• 31:36
  axes. It's not I'm so sorry to God, it's being I was trying
• 31:41
  to get he writes an embarrassing drunken ransom Craigslist for two hours. Put the
• 31:45
  whole league together. Oh that the whole time. I know, I was
• 31:52
  just watching Drew's face. It was like that, that's what it looks like.
• 31:56
  I'm like, oh, he knows. This is the cruck of having
• 32:00
  us in the room. We were look at each other. Eye contact is
• 32:02
  very important. You were like, yeah, watching Drew to see reaction when
• 32:07
  the right answer is right, someone are ducking whatever. It's on my turn
• 32:09
  for safety. All right, So moving back on over to the world three
• 32:15
  x's remain, Which which X would you like? I'll be honest, I'm
• 32:19
  mostly curious to know what question you gave for Matthew Patel. Okay, absolutely,
• 32:23
  you can go with number one, Matthew Patel. What reason does Ramona
• 32:28
  Flowers give for dating Matthew Patel back in seventh grade? Oh? Yeah?
• 32:31
  Is it A she was bored and wanted her first kiss, b his emore
• 32:37
  fringe and hercut seemed cute at the time. Or c he was the only
• 32:42
  quote non white, non jock at her school, John, you have any
• 32:45
  insight on this one. I do not. Any of those seem very plausible,
• 32:49
  Like I can I can just imagine Mary Elizabeth Winstead saying any of those
• 32:54
  lines. So I am completely lost. Well, in this case, it
• 32:59
  is because he was the only non white, non jock in her school.
• 33:01
  Yes, that's one of the most famous lines in my in my mind when
• 33:06
  it comes to Scott Pilger, and one of the ones that dates it the
• 33:08
  most. I reckon, now, Jock's come in all colors? Yes,
• 33:15
  but congratulations, that is correct. Just some classic trivia, Just some classic
• 33:19
  trivia about the story. Sometimes that's what it is. Okay, back on
• 33:22
  over to the subspace Whale Highway. Should I call you the s s w
• 33:28
  H Yeah, yeah, that's all. That doesn't stand for anything as the
• 33:32
  subs if you want, Oh yeah, okay, I'll call you the subs
• 33:36
  one. So we got vegan and twins. Who was left? I like
• 33:42
  the vegan because he's Superman. You're going with todd Ingram. Todd Ingram,
• 33:46
  Yes, todd Ingram. Yeah. Okay, here's your question about Todd in
• 33:52
  Scott Pilgrim versus the World? What are the three strikes the vegan police declare
• 33:58
  as in fractions that Todd has made? Is it a half and half milk
• 34:02
  gelato and chicken parmesan, b whipped cream gelato and Chef Boyardes beef RONI see
• 34:09
  half and half milk gelato and chicken noodle soup. It's the first one.
• 34:14
  Yeah, gelato isn't vegan. Yeah, all of them though, yeah,
• 34:21
  because that's the quote. I do also think the first one, Yeah,
• 34:27
  chicken parmesan is also like the funniest. If you were going to be like,
• 34:29
  what do you mean, what are you talking about? I didn't know.
• 34:30
  I didn't know at all, the fact that gelato is the one,
• 34:32
  he argues content tempt you with the chef boy shut up. We cannot be
• 34:42
  sweating. You put that in there because you love chef chef boyard or you
• 34:45
  have like most ridiculous American products. I just think it's really funny to reference.
• 34:50
  It's my wife's week point two. I still come home some days which
• 34:52
  is like, I don't want to cook. I just eats a can of
• 34:54
  it. We see that chef on the happy chef on the can. You're
• 34:59
  like, that could be me chef can. Yes, you are correct,
• 35:07
  it is a It is of course half finish the serial points. I still
• 35:14
  so often whenever I ordered chicken at a Restaurctor and wife and chicken is a
• 35:17
  vegan okay. The world that leaves you with the Kati Nagi twins are you
• 35:25
  ready for your trivia question about the twins. I'm ready. We'll pick those,
• 35:30
  okay. Despite speaking throughout the graphic novel and anime series, why don't
• 35:36
  Kyle and Ken speak in Scott Pilgrim Versus The World? Is it a The
• 35:42
  only attractive Japanese twins, as they're described they could find, were models and
• 35:46
  not actors. When they tried acting lines of dialogue for the first time,
• 35:51
  Edgar Wright quickly decided they wouldn't talk. B Edgar Wright was quoted as saying
• 35:57
  that he wanted to save as much time as possible when a Thak six hole
• 36:00
  graphic novels into one movie. This included making the twins mute or see.
• 36:07
  The casting office forgot to write English speaking Japanese twins into the casting call,
• 36:12
  so when they arrived on set they had to slightly change the script. Interesting,
• 36:17
  it's quite a lot of that. So the problem is I know that
• 36:21
  they didn't speak English, that's like a well known thing, but I actually
• 36:24
  don't know if it was a casting issue or a if or if they were
• 36:30
  cast knowing they wouldn't speak I mm hmm. It's that's the tricksy part.
• 36:34
  Yeah, yeah, like that's why I was like, oh, okay,
• 36:36
  it's and then you'd be like, oh, you're doing it twice to me,
• 36:38
  ugh burying the fun fact and the two different answers, So I can't
• 36:42
  use it as a knowledge point. That's gate leapers. Good job, man,
• 36:46
  good job, good job. Trip them up, Oh, trick them
• 36:52
  like I I would like to think they wouldn't. They wouldn't make a mistake
• 36:58
  like not hiring actors or hiring non actors. Yeah, it feels a lot
• 37:04
  more Edgar Wright to be like, we just needed to look good. It
• 37:07
  doesn't matter if the speak English, because I am planning this to go this
• 37:09
  way. So A is where I want to is where I'm leaning. Oh
• 37:15
  yeah, okay. You know I have no no reason why I would why
• 37:22
  I would disagree and say no, I feel strongly about this one here.
• 37:24
  So let's just say you feel strongly about see, but I'm taking us to
• 37:30
  A and that way. If I'm wrong, you can take the knowledge knowing
• 37:32
  you beat me on one of these. Oh yeah, I used to.
• 37:35
  I remember doing that to Jason one episode. Oh yeah, I mean,
• 37:38
  I'm I'm kind of feeling this, but you know, no, John,
• 37:43
  we're going with I'm the expert here and alf I'm ready, I feel like
• 37:46
  an ass, well dream prepared to feel like an ass because it is silly.
• 37:54
  Yeah, there's just a slight difference in the trivia that whether they were
• 37:58
  models or whether they office was the one who made the mistake. But it
• 38:00
  was the casting office who made the mistake. Edgar Wright was fully expecting them
• 38:05
  to be able to speak English when when they showed up on set they were
• 38:08
  apparently, I've heard was taken down by semantics. I'll accept it. Yeah,
• 38:16
  that's the way you get taken down on this podcast. Look, that's
• 38:20
  the end of round one. That's we're out of exes. There were no
• 38:22
  more xes. Let's pick up all the gold coins on the floor and count
• 38:27
  them to reveal the scores. That's just Canadian money. I'm so so sorry.
• 38:36
  So we have subspace, Whale Highway are on one point, the world
• 38:40
  are on two points, nice and even still commanding lead. You have double
• 38:47
  our score. Yeah that's true, that's true. Okay, Up next is
• 38:51
  round two. But first some commercials, probably for Amazon dot CA's American counterparts,
• 38:57
  Amazon dot US. After this. Brown two is a classic around here,
• 39:07
  and it's called pitch it. It's the game in which our players take
• 39:12
  on the role of junior media executives to pitch ideas about the future of the
• 39:16
  Scott Pilgrim franchise. To me, a senior media executive, I love money,
• 39:22
  I love exploiting workers, and I love donating to right wing special interest
• 39:25
  groups. That's all. That's all media executives. How our teams will each
• 39:30
  have two minutes as they ride in the elevator with me to pitch their ideas
• 39:35
  to me. However, each player only has a minute each one minute as
• 39:38
  the elevator goes up, and then another minute as the elevator goes down.
• 39:43
  Imagine that in the theater of the mind, that that's what's happening when everyone
• 39:46
  sounds all panicked, because it's funny to imagine them in an enclosed space.
• 39:52
  Okay, so I have two prompts here. Both throw first a subspace whale
• 39:54
  highway. I think you got some caption up to do. So the prompts
• 40:00
  that will be for both teams, but first for your team is if Scott
• 40:04
  Pilgrim is about Scott Pilgrim and Scott Pilgrim takes off is largely the Ramona Flowers
• 40:08
  story. What about the other guys, huh, pitch me a spinoff story
• 40:14
  for any other side character. I'm gonna start something here. Yeah, yeah,
• 40:19
  okay, your time starts now. Two words, Knives out? Do
• 40:27
  you have more than the title? Two minutes over? So of the Scott
• 40:34
  Pilgrim characters. When I first watched the movie, I felt that the character
• 40:37
  who got shafted the most and had the most potential and just got absolutely just
• 40:44
  just dicked on, honestly by the circumstance of the story was knives Chow,
• 40:49
  seventeen year old school girl who is thrust into this world of music and then
• 40:53
  takes off like learns music, learn space, opera writing as all this potential
• 41:00
  to not only show why she has the potential of youth, but also the
• 41:07
  potential to excel past her relationship with Scott. She is not just a vehicle
• 41:10
  for Scott to go transition from one to another ten second. I think she
• 41:15
  has the ability to be more than anyone actually on the show too. Absolutely
• 41:22
  so, a post breakup with Scott Knives, we can see her advance in
• 41:29
  music, like graduate, go to college, and have more adventures of her
• 41:35
  own, maybe even lean harder into the music aspect. Because this had a
• 41:39
  lot. The Scott Pilgrim stories have a lot of themes within music, but
• 41:45
  also mostly video games. So with this one we can continue some of that
• 41:49
  similar styling to keep a similar feel, but play more heavily on the music
• 41:54
  themed tones in the sense of sounds have certain powers which can do X Y
• 42:04
  Z or create certain effects in the world. Basically, her superpower can be
• 42:12
  music seconds and she grew. Like the other characters, she is not defined
• 42:16
  by her past relationships, but she did learn and grow and get things from
• 42:21
  them. Yes, there we go, there's your time, all right,
• 42:24
  lovely, lovely little pitch for I agree with the sentiment there of knives being
• 42:30
  like a I wouldn't say got shafted, but absolutely I agree with that or
• 42:40
  got dicked on as well. Quote I've never even kissed a boy. Heavy
• 42:47
  focused on music as well from both of you, focusing on the music aspects
• 42:52
  in her future, maybe like leaning more into that than maybe the video game
• 42:55
  aspects or dro you said something that was sounds have powers. Sounds have powers?
• 43:02
  Did you expand on that? What do you mean by that? I
• 43:06
  just mean, like one of the visuals that we see in Scott Pilgrim is
• 43:12
  shredding on a guitar and sound waves coming out and having an impact actually power.
• 43:17
  Ye. Yes, so like hitting hard and someone goes like the sound
• 43:22
  can push someone back in physical space. Yeah. No, I thought it
• 43:24
  was just like a very different way of saying like music is beautiful. I
• 43:30
  think it goes ways. It is powerful, but also it can slap you.
• 43:36
  Slapping the bass is a fully new meaning in this world. Yes.
• 43:38
  That was one of my favorite things about Scott Pilgrim was the magic realism,
• 43:42
  but also the casual sense of magic realism. Like in the movie when someone
• 43:45
  turns into coins, people are like, huh coins, But then like in
• 43:49
  the anime and the video games, people are like, yeah, Scott does
• 43:51
  that, and it's like, what the fuck are you talking about? What
• 43:53
  It's like a level of like it's not even like you suspend disbelief, it's
• 43:58
  the world has already done that for you, Like this is just the way
• 44:00
  the world works sometimes like that just yeah hh okay, Well, I'll reserve
• 44:05
  my numerical score for you until I hear the other pitch because it will be
• 44:09
  weighted against how good or bad that one is, so we will move on
• 44:14
  over to the world. And yeah, it's the exact same prompt pitching a
• 44:17
  side character to build a spin off off of, And I feel like Drew
• 44:22
  should probably start this because John might be hearing the information about that character for
• 44:25
  the first time. Within Drew's sixte I know. I was sitting here going
• 44:30
  going back and forth. I was like, do I try to go first
• 44:34
  because I feel bad that Drew's doing all the heavy lifting, or and he
• 44:37
  can pick up the slack, or do I just try to bullshit? Part
• 44:40
  of me was also like, I'm cut it down for you to go first
• 44:43
  if there's a character you know that you want to start with, because I
• 44:45
  can, I can comfortably expound on any of them, I feel like so
• 44:49
  honestly, like I thought I had thought knives as well, but I don't
• 44:52
  think I have a solid enough minute to talk about my other idea, which
• 44:57
  which would be which would be Wallace? Okay, so it's up to you.
• 45:02
  How's this. I'll start and I'll let you take it because I'm gonna
• 45:05
  I'm gonna give you a good ballpark. Here. There we go, Let's
• 45:07
  do it. Okay, Drew, So have you ready? I'll start the
• 45:10
  time at So I feel like that character who got severely overlooked going from the
• 45:15
  comics to the film was Young Neil, and I think the anime did a
• 45:19
  really good job of giving him like a better characterization. But it's made me
• 45:22
  realize how much we need a Young Neil series. And I feel like the
• 45:28
  best comparison to Young Neil is just he is the George Costanza of the Scott
• 45:34
  Pilgrim world. He is so unspecial, he is so regular, he is
• 45:38
  so average, but the most amazing things happen around him. And I would
• 45:43
  just love to give him existing in a world where it's him going about the
• 45:46
  most mundane day to day tasks, but in the most fantastical world. Like
• 45:51
  just an episode of Young Neil goes to the grocery store and while theyre has
• 45:55
  to find the last thing of Oreo's special edition Oreos he wants for some reason,
• 46:00
  but there is a ninja attack going on. There's no like, this
• 46:04
  is crazy, it's just see, okay, I can't take Aisle four.
• 46:07
  There's a law of a monster again, like I hopefully they're in Aisle three
• 46:09
  this time, and just seeing the blase a realization of a normal person in
• 46:15
  a fantastic All right, you got to hand it over, now, go
• 46:17
  for it. A minute, all right, and a minute starts now,
• 46:19
  John, if there's one thing that Scott Pilgrim versus the world, let's say
• 46:24
  the movie does it's big, bombastic action. Like we've touched on before,
• 46:31
  people do the craziest things and just consider it normal. Well, one thing
• 46:36
  that we could do with Young Neil is go insular, you know, we
• 46:38
  where like Drew said, he we see all these crazy things going on around
• 46:43
  him, but he's on sort of a sort of a journey inside his mind
• 46:46
  as to why why all these things are happening around him and what part he
• 46:52
  plays in it if it's not a fantastical one. And he has sort of
• 46:54
  like an existential philosophical journey about about why he is so special by being so
• 47:01
  normal in a world that is so spombastic. So he needs to find his
• 47:07
  own purpose being such a mundane part of a special world lovely stuff that is
• 47:15
  stellar. That's a that's very impressive, John, considering everything. Yeah,
• 47:22
  like Drew kicking it off as a Young Nail series, first of all,
• 47:25
  you're playing to your audience. Dream I've not I've not revealed anything. But
• 47:30
  he was my favorite part of the anime. I love the whole subplot.
• 47:34
  It was fantastic. He was one of my favorite parts of the movie.
• 47:39
  That's a tough question, Zelda Mary. Yes, I've got written down special
• 47:49
  edition Orioles. I'll be honest, I sail. I was very con of
• 47:59
  all the list and why I needed special edition yellow and blue oreos. But
• 48:09
  it's fitting for young Neil. Is the thing that's a reason that he would
• 48:13
  be in a serious young wild things, wild things would happen. And then
• 48:16
  then John, all I needed to hear was it's the it's a journey inside
• 48:21
  the mind of young Neil. I loved at the idea of we're taking the
• 48:24
  high concept stuff but making it insular. Yeah, so I'm going to hand
• 48:28
  out some points for this teams. In the boardroom, I'm going to say,
• 48:34
  No, we're in an elevator, aren't We're not in a boardroom.
• 48:37
  It's a really fancy elevator. Yeah, it's a tall building too, Yeah,
• 48:42
  big time. Okay, I'm going to say, look, I love
• 48:45
  the Knives pitch. I loved it. I love the idea in terms of
• 48:50
  giving Knives a spin off, but there wasn't as much for me to hold
• 48:53
  on to. There in terms of like other than just the music aspect.
• 48:58
  So I'm going to say three points for some space, and I'm going to
• 49:00
  say four points for the world. Yeah, I do love Idiot. I
• 49:05
  think if anyone does deserve their own spinoff, it is one hundred percent Knives,
• 49:08
  especially with the romance they started building with her and Kim at the end
• 49:12
  of the anime. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd love to see
• 49:15
  her go on her own like Batman journey, you know, learning all these
• 49:19
  all these things from experts, and then shows back up with a little little
• 49:22
  color in her hair and ready to kick some ass. That would be cool.
• 49:24
  Yeah, that'd be good. Yeah, you should have said that.
• 49:30
  Okay, we've got one more prompt here in this round, and it's a
• 49:32
  bit it's a bit sillier. We can get pretty silly with this one.
• 49:37
  Scott Pilgrim is Canada's third biggest media franchise behind Degrassi, and I assume some
• 49:42
  sort of Tim Horton's related context, and what do media franchises need? They
• 49:47
  need theme parks, So pitch me Scott Pilgrim World. What kinds of rides,
• 49:53
  shows, activities and foods which you find there? So I guess you'll
• 49:58
  each as a player have a in it to cram in as many ideas as
• 50:00
  possible, and a Subspace is still trailing. I'm gonna say Subspace can go
• 50:06
  first again. Okay, Okay, well I lead, I lead first last
• 50:09
  time. Hell yeah, I can lead it again. No, I'm in
• 50:19
  it? Yeah done, hell yeah. Honestly I love that. That's a
• 50:30
  complimentary. God, we are all young, meal, so Ordre, are
• 50:36
  you ready to pitch Scott Scott Pilgrim World. You don't have to call it
• 50:38
  that. You can call it whatever you want, but a Scott Pilgrim theme
• 50:40
  park absolutely, I'm ready. Okay, your time starts now. There are
• 50:45
  so many different options that you can go with here for a Scott Pilgrim theme
• 50:50
  park, a lot of rides, like a roller coaster through the Subspace Highway
• 50:55
  or the Time Portal Allah rock and roller coaster where it's like an indoor you
• 51:02
  can do a lot of really cool lighting, visual effects. I'm imagining some
• 51:07
  like competitive aspects with people you brought, like a fighting game, like a
• 51:12
  visual fighting game where you can VR fight people and see the effects as they
• 51:17
  are in the games. The food options are great. Garlic bread is everywhere
• 51:22
  for starters. Also tee shops with too many tea options is going to be
• 51:29
  huge for us ten seconds. The entire thing is built like us, like
• 51:37
  a standard Toronto street, but behind every door, something wild is happening.
• 51:44
  All right, handa over to Jason and I'll tell you what is behind each
• 51:46
  door. I think we have six doors lined up, and behind each door
• 51:51
  it's themed after one of the Xes. Right, So garlic bread is everywhere.
• 51:55
  Sure for my vegans, for my vegetarians out there, we've got Todd
• 52:00
  todd Ingram's World, you know, so we're being inclusive. It's also gluten
• 52:04
  free. Uh, there is chicken palm there as well. Contamination. We've
• 52:09
  got a Lucas Lee skate park, you know what I mean? Uh.
• 52:14
  Over in the Matthew Battel area, that's that's where your multimedia, that's where
• 52:16
  your theater, your shows are going to be held. That where there's a
• 52:20
  lot of effects. There's there's flying ghosts, demon ladies. What's what's the
• 52:23
  deal with that? And I think connecting all of them is is that Toronto
• 52:30
  Street and then the Subspace Highway as well. I think that's our connection and
• 52:32
  that's our unifications there. What else Who's who else? Who's the next?
• 52:37
  The Nuggie Twins music? Love it? Yeah, all right, that's your
• 52:45
  time. Yeah, you crims a lot in there though, Yeah, I
• 52:47
  was. That's a lot of a lot of good good rides. Uh,
• 52:52
  the Subspace roller coaster of course, your team name. That was a strong
• 52:55
  start there. Garlic bread everywhere, Yeah, sounds like class. Garlic bread
• 53:04
  is delicious. But you're also thinking of the vegans as well. With an
• 53:07
  entire realm, an entire section, I don't imagine them like the sections at
• 53:14
  like a Disney World where it's like different areas. It's going to be a
• 53:16
  big theme park. Yeah, huge investment. Yeah, bigger than Toronto itself.
• 53:22
  Classic all right, gentrification of Toronto begins with this, and it begins
• 53:30
  Yes, I made an assumption. Oh no, you're very right. You're
• 53:34
  twenty years too late there. Okay, so before I hand out my judgment,
• 53:38
  that feels too strong a word, but I've used it now judgment.
• 53:43
  We will move back on over to the world. Who would like to start?
• 53:47
  I'm okay starting this. I was gonna say, lets you start this.
• 53:51
  One's more conceptual. Yea. Whenever you're ready, John, I'll start
• 53:54
  the time of when you stop. All right, so we're let me tell
• 53:59
  you a little bit about some of the rides and features we have at scott
• 54:01
  Pilgrim call in the world. You've got a Hall of X's Dark Ride,
• 54:08
  where you it's it's sort of a spooky, haunted house dark ride where you
• 54:12
  you navigate through all six xes, ending with with the big Man himself.
• 54:19
  We also have Splash Bob Bomb, It's a log flume ride where where it's
• 54:23
  that very music centric you get lots of lots of fun tunes as you twist
• 54:29
  and turn around around all the watery spillways. We've got Knives Tunnel of Heartbreak,
• 54:37
  let's call it that. It's a little spin on your normal Tunnel of
• 54:42
  love where this time you you just see the all the steps of a relationships
• 54:46
  going sour. And then we also have the the Time to Mature free Fall,
• 54:52
  where you you where you decide you're going to be a grown up and
• 54:55
  move in with Ramona and fall from a tower to see salmon alright, you
• 55:01
  love. And then of course after a fun day out in the park with
• 55:08
  all these amazing rides in the and I also a pictured being like kind of
• 55:12
  like the small world version of Toronto where there's a lot of like Toronto esque
• 55:15
  landmarks, which is really just a cend tower, but it's like done in
• 55:19
  a way where the figure than it actually is, like Disney does with the
• 55:22
  Castle, and it's just as ugly as it is in real life. I
• 55:25
  promise you're not miss a shade f Oh god. Yeah, that place is
• 55:30
  horrible and he was right, but we're gonna make it full with all these
• 55:35
  amazing rides. And then of course, when you need some time off,
• 55:37
  you can go to any of the many great pizza places where everyone has an
• 55:42
  amazing arcade where you can win tickets to get cool replicas from the movie,
• 55:45
  and there's an animatronic bands that play there, whether it be the Clash Demon
• 55:51
  Head or an animatronic concept of the Boys. And then to top the entire
• 55:54
  thing off, you get like the like the chance to like kind of pose
• 55:58
  into the movie. They have like spots you can go around and like replay
• 56:00
  sing to the movie, and you can cast them photos. I get,
• 56:05
  Yeah, I get what you're talking about. There's like no good word for
• 56:07
  that. Yeah, right, picture face in the hole, picture face in
• 56:12
  the whole Yeah, American classic. Yes, the picture face in the whole
• 56:19
  North American classic. We also have them in England. Oh, the sexy
• 56:28
  lady the bikini and the strong man exactly the Yeah, the sexy sexy lady
• 56:34
  in the BIGINNI the dog as well, the dog being walked on the beach.
• 56:37
  Yes, yeah, yeah, that doesn't make any sense. It's just
• 56:40
  a human face on the What horror is this? You have you seen?
• 56:45
  Like seventeenth century art, the cats, the human faces. No one has
• 56:52
  ever seen a cat ty paintings. I have too, I'm not I know
• 56:55
  they look like Yeah. I loved that pitch as well. I thought there
• 57:01
  wouldn't be any ideas left, but you you sure had them just right right
• 57:05
  out the gate. John comm of the World, Scott Pilgrim, the world
• 57:10
  is just fantastic, the whole of evil x's that's great splash for Bomb.
• 57:16
  I love when we went with splash my bomb and not the splash and demon
• 57:21
  head. But it works so well. Still. Yeah, you can't do
• 57:25
  the seamen ahead Yeah oh geez. Yeah, that's the triple ax section of
• 57:30
  the Back at Night Only. Yeah, behind the Little Curtain Adults Only after
• 57:36
  Hours and Drew, you had some great ideas in your pitch. As well,
• 57:43
  including the animatronic bands. But the good chunk of yours was bashing Toronto
• 57:49
  as well, which may be fair. What can I say? What we
• 57:54
  do? It's just we are we are planning on sort of building this theme
• 57:59
  park in Toronto, or at least the Toronto metropolitan area, so it's I
• 58:04
  don't know if it's best to sort of insult. Yeah, but if you're
• 58:07
  building anywhere around Toronto, it's only gonna drum up business. Okay, fair
• 58:10
  enough? Yeah, something else to see other than the what the what tower?
• 58:15
  Exactly? Okay? All right, Look, I loved both teams pitches
• 58:21
  there, so I'm gonna make it entirely redundant, as though we've never been
• 58:25
  to play this round. I'm gonna give four points to each team. Nice
• 58:29
  my favorite score. I'd go to either one of these mm hmm yeah yeah.
• 58:36
  What is it that that? Not the knives out one? The one
• 58:37
  after that where you become an adult. I'm just picturing like the Tower of
• 58:45
  Terror thing and Disney, but like every day, it stops periodically and you
• 58:47
  have like moments of like seeing like the growth of a relationship and then the
• 58:52
  like and this is what marriage is like you're settling. Now you need to
• 58:59
  grow. It's a person or else or else you die alone. It's all
• 59:07
  a metaphor. You don't actually splat on the ground, not this one.
• 59:12
  That's the end of the round. Let's use numerology. That's all across this
• 59:16
  franchise to calculate the latest scores. Lots of hidden numbers everywhere the subspace,
• 59:22
  whale highway or on eight points. The world are on ten points. Keep
• 59:28
  an early, Yeah, lovely stuff. Round three next, But first we've
• 59:32
  got to play some more ads, mostly for if you live in the US.
• 59:37
  If you live in Canada, congratulations, I assume you have zero capitalism.
• 59:42
  Back soon. Round three is our fandom game, and it's called first
• 59:52
  Trap. Now if you're a millennial. The cast for twenty ten's Scott Pilgrim
• 59:57
  versus the World is inspired casting and features an ensemble of stars that my generation
• 1:00:04
  is low key, high key, medium key obsessed. So if I were
• 1:00:08
  to read a real first post from the kind of unhinged tumbler dot com,
• 1:00:14
  Yeah, would our teams be able to recognize the real life human being as
• 1:00:17
  in the actor that they're lusting over? Yeah, each post I will read
• 1:00:22
  and it will be for both teams. Because the cast is so expansive,
• 1:00:27
  each team will have two guesses each, so every player is going to have
• 1:00:30
  a guess as to who is being spoken about. If either of the guesses
• 1:00:35
  are correct on your team, your team gets a point. And feel free
• 1:00:38
  to look up the cast list as we play. I promise it won't help
• 1:00:42
  that much. Okay, really, I'm just pulling it up to some of
• 1:00:45
  the names. I'll do that thing. Well, forget a name once in
• 1:00:47
  a while. Absolutely, yeah, I was. I was looking at it
• 1:00:51
  and was like, there's like twelve to fifteen people. This could believably be
• 1:00:53
  about. Yeah, I forgot my phone in my car. I'm pretty sure.
• 1:00:58
  I help. You can share a cast list? Oho? Okay,
• 1:01:02
  god, thank you, thank you. Playing a secondary game? Which of
• 1:01:06
  these cast members am I thirsting over? And she's like ageless, it's amazing,
• 1:01:12
  she's like forty. What you say that like that's old or something?
• 1:01:20
  She's ancient? Oh my god. The joke in the show being she's a
• 1:01:28
  thirty year old person. Yeah, a seventeen year old ye? Okay,
• 1:01:31
  are we all we already do? We all have the Scott Pilgrim cast in
• 1:01:36
  front of us? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, Okay, So here is
• 1:01:39
  your first thirst post, and they're all from a non I didn't want to
• 1:01:44
  put anyone on blast. They're all from a non here. It is.
• 1:01:47
  If I had to hug anyone, anyone in the world, probably this guy.
• 1:01:52
  He just he seems like he really needs it. Oh wow, Okay,
• 1:01:59
  so we will. I'm gonna take an answer from each player. We'll
• 1:02:01
  hear everyone's answers. So Jason, we'll start with you. We we actually
• 1:02:06
  looking in the annals of my brain. We actually had a comment that was
• 1:02:08
  very similar to this four Supernatural which Drew was on, but it was for
• 1:02:13
  one of the boys. Yes, we did. Yeah, oh wow,
• 1:02:15
  yeah, has a language. Yeah, and my choice for this one is
• 1:02:22
  gonna be Michael Sarah. Okay, going with Michael Sarah, classic the lead
• 1:02:28
  Auldre. I'm gonna go for Johnny Simms, Young Neil. Going for Johnny
• 1:02:31
  Sims, Young Neil. Okay, that's a good pick. Let's find out
• 1:02:36
  who the worlds are gonna go with Drew, I'm torn between twos. I
• 1:02:38
  want to seeho John says first. Okay, John, you know question is
• 1:02:44
  there there's no repeats, right, and there'll be no repeats in this Okay,
• 1:02:50
  I'm going to go then with Jason Schwartzman Gideon. Okay, that was
• 1:02:57
  one of my twos, So I'm gonna go with my other one. I'm
• 1:02:59
  with Jason, I think it's Michael Sarah and Drew is going with Michael Sarah.
• 1:03:04
  I can reveal that both teams have scored a point. This one is
• 1:03:07
  Michael Sarah. John. I was so like, I was so between the
• 1:03:12
  two, and I'm like, please say one of the two. Okay,
• 1:03:15
  that's good to know, because I I should have phrased it better when I
• 1:03:16
  said in no repeats, I meant, can we guess the same person that
• 1:03:21
  something? The team? Cool? Yeah, it's I guess like you you
• 1:03:24
  could if you were hyper confident. But I suppose tactically it would be best
• 1:03:29
  to each guess a different a different cast member. Yeah, I mean it
• 1:03:32
  wouldn't. It wouldn't have saved me anything anyway. Yeah, they're all good
• 1:03:39
  guesses to be fair. Do we do we agree with the statement? Does
• 1:03:43
  Michael Sarah really seem like he needs a hug? Like especially when they when
• 1:03:50
  he comes home really sad, Like I'm picturing the gift of him from arrested
• 1:03:52
  Development where he just comes over, hls over. That's so funny. It
• 1:04:00
  was hug. I thought you said hook and I thought that was just some
• 1:04:03
  some kids slang for or something. Hook him. I've give him the old
• 1:04:12
  hook. This guy bag them tag him? Where would you houck him?
• 1:04:19
  Go right into the bone. Okay, let's let's have another thirsty extract.
• 1:04:27
  Yeah, that's that's a horrible phrase. Okay, here it is. You
• 1:04:30
  know what I used to think, why is she always posting thirst traps?
• 1:04:35
  But now I realize I might just be the one who's thirsty. Sue me?
• 1:04:41
  I want her to top me? Mm hmmm, mm hmmm. And
• 1:04:46
  which actor always posts thirst trip? This is gonna be my personal I don't
• 1:04:49
  know if they do, but this is gonna be my personal pick for the
• 1:04:54
  the comment to how I feel about this person? All right, well,
• 1:04:57
  we'll keep the same order because it will be less confusing for me. Okay,
• 1:05:00
  Jason, who have you got for this one? Bree Larsen pre Lawson,
• 1:05:03
  Yeah, okay, Aldre, I'm also gonna go with my heart Aubrey
• 1:05:06
  plazare plaza. We got Breeze are powerful women in Aubrey Plaza. Moving on
• 1:05:13
  over to the world, John, you know I was thinking Aubrey Plaza as
• 1:05:16
  well. Okay, maybe like all three of those are my top ones.
• 1:05:20
  But I've got a weird thing, and I'm gonna say I think it'd be
• 1:05:24
  Mary Elizabeth to Mary Elizabeth. Yeah, Okay, we just we just found
• 1:05:29
  out who all of our cast would like to be topped by. Yes.
• 1:05:31
  Yes, if she's enough for you and McGregor, she's good enough for me.
• 1:05:38
  Okay. So we have pree Lawson, we have Aubrey Plaza, we
• 1:05:43
  have another old pre plaza. Yeah, and we have Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
• 1:05:45
  It's Anna Kendrick, isn't it. It's not Anna Kendrick, Jason, you
• 1:05:48
  are getting a point for your team. Ah, it's pre Lawson. I
• 1:05:56
  was. I was very four way tied. I'll be honest. Those are
• 1:05:59
  like my top four hole. Uhh no, Captain Mommy wins out though understandable.
• 1:06:05
  All right, Let's let's have another one of these first posts from and
• 1:06:11
  on once more. Here it is. He is my number one, baby
• 1:06:15
  girl. I am him. Oh, he is me. Oh we are
• 1:06:19
  one. He's going to be all I think and talk about forever and always.
• 1:06:26
  I know who I All right, Jason, we'll stop with you baby
• 1:06:32
  girl is a very specific phrase, and just based on Adre's reaction, I
• 1:06:36
  feel like I know who she's gonna pick, so strategically, I am gonna
• 1:06:43
  say it's not it. I'm just gonna confess he's my baby girl. Okay,
• 1:06:47
  Chris Evans, you canna say Chris Evans, Yeah, your number one
• 1:06:50
  baby girl? And Odre, who's your number one baby girl? If this
• 1:06:58
  is not about Kiaran Kulkin, yep, I'm going to log on and post
• 1:07:04
  it about Kieran. Okay, I'll just going with Kieran Kilkin the world.
• 1:07:11
  Who've you got over that? I mean, you guys, you guys did
• 1:07:14
  it? Like? Those are the two. It's not It's not gonna be
• 1:07:15
  Brandon Rath. It's not gonna be Jason Schort. I mean it could be
• 1:07:19
  Michael Sarah again, but I mean right, but no, Reapeat, It's
• 1:07:28
  it's gotta be Chris Evans, like like it, that's it, right?
• 1:07:31
  All right? John's got another Chris Evans on the boards, Drew, who
• 1:07:34
  are you going with? My heart wants to say, Kieren colkn Also,
• 1:07:41
  that's very much my mind went as well. But I don't know there is
• 1:07:44
  for some reason Brandon Ruth. Something something about it, I don't know what
• 1:07:48
  it is, makes me feel like, yes, he's a powerful man on
• 1:07:51
  the outside, but you're just a little girl on the inside. That's how
• 1:07:55
  I feel about Chris Evans, Superman, beautiful puppy dog guys. I'm like,
• 1:08:01
  no, you're soft though you're Yeah, those big knives out of sweaters
• 1:08:06
  he wears. Oh god. Anyways, I know I respect the pic Drew,
• 1:08:17
  but it is Audre who's going to have banked the point here because this
• 1:08:20
  is about Kieran Coulkin. I know how they talked about the internet. Check
• 1:08:28
  out our Succession episode. Here's your next first post. Her reading thirst tweets
• 1:08:34
  in this video will be my cause of death. She should rail me.
• 1:08:41
  Okay, that's the first tweet. Yeah, I feel of the celebrities here,
• 1:08:47
  who would do a g Q Beata Thirst tweet it's Aubrey Plaza. I
• 1:08:53
  think it absolutely is, But just I'm going to do somebody else so that
• 1:08:57
  we definitely get a point. Chris Evans I wrote that about Chris. I'll
• 1:09:03
  go with Anna Kendrick just to like Gondrick a Hedge betting. I do think
• 1:09:08
  it is Aubrey Plaza. But I'm going to hedge my bets. Yeah.
• 1:09:11
  I always got that vibe while watching the Picture Perfect franchise. So the World's
• 1:09:16
  John, Who have you got for this one? Oh? Geez? I
• 1:09:19
  feel like like I always just feel like I'm miming somebody else and then leaving
• 1:09:24
  Drew to to you know, just but I mean the expert. It's fine.
• 1:09:29
  I said this about Chris Evans and I was wrong then, But like,
• 1:09:32
  it's got to be Aubrey Plaza, right, Yeah, So I don't
• 1:09:40
  worry if you were if you didn't say Aubrey, I was gonna say Aubrey.
• 1:09:43
  Yeah, I mean, if you're thinking Aubrey, I may I wouldn't
• 1:09:46
  mind going Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Okay, go ahead, I'll take Aubrey Plaza
• 1:09:51
  and Harvey that one. All right, so we've gone. I'm really cornered
• 1:09:56
  you that time. Look, I think our teams figured this one out.
• 1:10:01
  It's a point for each team. It is Aubrey Plaza. Fo us seen
• 1:10:05
  the video. God, she's the best interview ever. What she is villainous,
• 1:10:15
  She's so good. Okay, your next first post. Wow, I
• 1:10:20
  am such a lesbian. Look at her. I figured those muscles difficult she
• 1:10:31
  can get it. Whoa, I mean, it was a lot of like
• 1:10:35
  slamming the keyboard. It's tough to pronounce. Fun enough, you did exactly
• 1:10:42
  how I heard in my head. I try. I don't really know when
• 1:10:47
  she shows her muscles ever, but I just have an inkling of Mary Elizabeth
• 1:10:51
  Winstead. I guess an inkling of Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Yeah, let's go
• 1:10:58
  Alison pill throwing in first shout for Alison Bilber. No, we'll stick with
• 1:11:03
  it, We'll stick with it, We'll stick okay, and moving on over
• 1:11:08
  to the world. I'm gonna go Ellen Wong. She was in glow and
• 1:11:14
  oh ye, maybe she showed some muscle on that. I'm not sure.
• 1:11:16
  That's that's that's a good point. Is that her and Clo Wow? Oh?
• 1:11:21
  Because they're not thirsting over them in Scott pilgril Oh. Yeah, this
• 1:11:27
  is the actors. Yes, God, damn's Drew. How about yourself?
• 1:11:30
  I'm gonna have to go with my girl Elizabeth again, going for Mary Elizabeth
• 1:11:34
  again. We've we've not heard her so far, so she was bound to
• 1:11:39
  show up at one point. It's a point for each team because both teams
• 1:11:41
  have said that Mary Elizabeth winst A. It's it's very clearly her with the
• 1:11:45
  hammer and the that. Yeah, I know that's I know that's scene.
• 1:11:51
  I think it may have even been a below a Madam Webb trailer. Is
• 1:11:56
  she and Madam Webbers? I don't think web She was hunt Triss in Birds
• 1:12:00
  of Prey. Oh maybe that was it. Then was also in the clover
• 1:12:03
  Fields movie. It was definitely a superhero movie. Okay, okay, I
• 1:12:08
  was I think it would have been that one. Yeah, yeah, I
• 1:12:11
  was gonna call that out at some point, Like I felt bad earlier when
• 1:12:14
  I was like, oh yeah, we had Captain America and Superman. I'm
• 1:12:16
  like, oh yeah, we also had Captain Marvel and the Huntress. Yeah
• 1:12:19
  this movie. So yeah, I guess I shouldn't be the sexist here.
• 1:12:24
  No, no, I talk about who's you? It's great, No,
• 1:12:26
  just me for assuming it's Madam Webb. I still can't wait to see Kieran
• 1:12:29
  Culkin's role in a superhero movie. Oh, play Kiaran Culkin in a superhero
• 1:12:33
  movie. Make it happen. God, I'd go see it. See him
• 1:12:38
  being like Speedball or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I
• 1:12:41
  have one final first extract for the both of you I said that word again.
• 1:12:45
  It doesn't sound good with extract, the thing they used to make gatorade.
• 1:12:53
  I feel like, oh no, gosh, okay, here is that's
• 1:12:59
  first post j f C. I thought he literally disappeared off the face of
• 1:13:03
  the earth. But he's back. My angel, my boy child, my
• 1:13:10
  angel, my boy child. I got my Pike. I don't know if
• 1:13:16
  he's been back in anything. Johnny Simmons, Johnny Simmons only because he's young
• 1:13:23
  Neil. That's that's who I was going to go for. So let's you
• 1:13:29
  know, oh, oh, you know, let's we're gett into the great
• 1:13:38
  profile pictures here, Yeah, doing Will Boughs Party Goer number three. Okay,
• 1:13:45
  but Bill Hayter is the voice, so that's about Will Forte. Let's
• 1:13:50
  let's go. Is he actually in this movie? He's like the older and
• 1:13:59
  he's also really old, like he's not young boy child at all. Will
• 1:14:02
  go for sat Ya Baba, you go because we've got Johnny Simmons and sat
• 1:14:09
  Ya Baba on this team. Okay, we will move on over to the
• 1:14:14
  to the world. I'm gonna go with Brandon Routh. I feel like he
• 1:14:17
  like he disappeared for a while and even though he was doing c W stuff,
• 1:14:20
  you know, for a little bit there, like he I don't know,
• 1:14:24
  I feel like he disappeared and then popped back in. Okay shows anymore,
• 1:14:32
  they're gone. Honestly, we're better off for it. But this one
• 1:14:40
  has to be Jason Schwartzman going with Jason Swartzman. It's a good good picks
• 1:14:46
  here, right, for different answers, really very believable picks as well.
• 1:14:50
  And I can say one team is getting a point there is there is a
• 1:14:55
  correct answer that it's Johnny Simmons, Jason from know what he's from. So
• 1:15:04
  he was in a bunch of things around about the same time as Scott Pilgrim.
• 1:15:08
  But he stopped acting in twenty sixteen and returned for the anime for Scott.
• 1:15:13
  Oh, very cool. So it's cool that they were strong enough of
• 1:15:17
  a story and a meant enough that he came out of retirement. It.
• 1:15:21
  I remember reading a thing about him like having like retired from acting, but
• 1:15:26
  he was like for this, I'll come back. So that's so good.
• 1:15:28
  That's nice. Oh right, Well, I think that that game changed things
• 1:15:31
  up a bit. Oh, Jason's that's what we've learned. I know,
• 1:15:41
  my internet so let's check that combo multiplier so we can accurately calculate the latest
• 1:15:47
  scores or the high scores. We have the world who are on thirteen points
• 1:15:54
  okay, but the team that have managed to overtake Subspace Whale Highway are on
• 1:15:58
  fourteen points our internet sirs, right, Jason, I don't know. Look,
• 1:16:11
  anyone can still win the quick fire round, as we know, can
• 1:16:13
  change everything in an instant. It was very close last episode as well.
• 1:16:17
  But before we get to the quick Fire round, let's talk prizes. This
• 1:16:21
  episode, Star Prize is the concept of dating in your early twenties. It
• 1:16:27
  sucks. Everyone thinks they're an adult, but they act like high schoolers and
• 1:16:30
  I'm so glad to be on the other side of it. Amen. Yeah,
• 1:16:34
  Hi, I'm dating in my late twenties and it still sucks. Everyone's
• 1:16:40
  delayed because of the pandemic. Late twenties is the new early Thanks Matt,
• 1:16:45
  thanks for that. Everyone here is married. But our winning team will also
• 1:16:53
  receive a beautiful weekend get away for two to snowy Toronto. Actually, this
• 1:17:00
  podcast does aim to be carbon neutral, so you'll have to book your own
• 1:17:03
  flights and the hotel, but go to Toronto if you want to. If
• 1:17:11
  you want to, apparently drew dozen up. Next is our crucial quick fire
• 1:17:17
  around, but first we must play one final set of ads after this PSA
• 1:17:23
  from the Wheat Lobby. Bread does not make you fat. Studies have shown
• 1:17:28
  that one to two loaves per day is a perfectly healthy amount for any growing
• 1:17:31
  human that's crazy, buy more bread. It will make you strong like a
• 1:17:35
  powerful vegan. Our final quick fire around will test your broader pop culture knowledge,
• 1:17:46
  and it's called Battle of the Bands, of course it is. In
• 1:17:50
  this game I will give our players clues to a fictional band from pop culture
• 1:17:56
  history. Those clues will be given in the style of an Internet hips the
• 1:18:00
  reviewing their musical style and all round creative persona. And when I say fictional,
• 1:18:05
  some of these artists have played live shows or even released music in some
• 1:18:10
  cases, but the point is they originated in a work of fiction. Oh
• 1:18:15
  and there's of course a classic Gates Leapers twist. You need to confidently say
• 1:18:19
  we are band name one, two, three, four, give us a
• 1:18:24
  countdown, so as loud and confident as you can possibly be. It's quick
• 1:18:28
  fire, so you buzz in by yelling out your team name let's practice that.
• 1:18:31
  Now, Wald, what are you just say whale world versus whale say
• 1:18:39
  wal something that won't be confusing. So let's let's do an example. We're
• 1:18:45
  to try and work on a hipster voice that's American. So first up on
• 1:18:50
  this list, we have an American blues and soul revivalist band founded in nineteen
• 1:18:57
  seventy eight. It began with perform says live on a Saturday night and even
• 1:19:02
  though they're ex cons, they do a lot of work for charity. Plus
• 1:19:06
  they're anti Nazi, which is cool. Oh wow, the practice one not
• 1:19:14
  stirring any answers. So it was on SNL. SNL band Okay, I
• 1:19:21
  can like picture a few bands from SNL, but I can't think of any
• 1:19:25
  of their names. It's not the cow Bell guy. I don't think there's
• 1:19:29
  anything about anti Nazism. Anyway, this might be a sign for how this
• 1:19:33
  this Maybe maybe it'll get easier. It was the Blues Brothers I was looking
• 1:19:40
  for. They were an SNL thing. The anti knots well, most people
• 1:19:46
  in the film, well it's fucking think, wouldn't you, But yes in
• 1:19:54
  the in the film. So let's let's see how this goes and if you
• 1:19:59
  don't know the name of the band, say the media franchise and I'll count
• 1:20:01
  that as well. Okay, so it's we are Blank one two three four,
• 1:20:06
  Yes, yes, like when that hits the easiest, which sometimes he
• 1:20:09
  goes, oh shit, franchise. If you can just just get one word
• 1:20:15
  from it, it's fine. Yeah, okay, I will stop the timer.
• 1:20:20
  So next up super bubblegum pop boy band influenced by the late nineties boom
• 1:20:28
  and also some K wave as well. Largely marketed at tweens, although you
• 1:20:32
  know it's the parents who bankroll these things. I turn red admitting this,
• 1:20:36
  but Whale, yes, Jason, we are Big Time Rush one two three
• 1:20:42
  four. I'm so sorry that's not the correct answer. Was it a bad
• 1:20:45
  guess though? Right? Yeah? Big Time Rush? Yeah, yeah,
• 1:20:47
  they're not on this list. Whales No, Yeah, I'm gonna it's we
• 1:20:57
  are the boy band from the movie you read whose name is sub eluding me.
• 1:21:00
  But they also play in Toronto one two three four. Do you know
• 1:21:03
  what I'm gonna I'm gonna be cruel and say no because the film is turning
• 1:21:06
  Red, turning red, not red, oh turning red again? Full Star
• 1:21:14
  Town, Oh right, full star colloquially called h Yeah, okay, we'll
• 1:21:20
  see how these go. I'm enjoying describing them though, so it is really
• 1:21:26
  fun. So next up, these old British rockers appear to Yes, John,
• 1:21:32
  we are Spinal Tap one two three four beautiful, it is John.
• 1:21:41
  I was right behind you on that one. I was taking away, what
• 1:21:44
  is this? My only my onliest service might be the Ruddles. I was
• 1:21:46
  waiting to make sure. Oh yeah. So next up we have an eco
• 1:21:54
  goth rock trio formed in the late nineties but have enjoyed success in the world.
• 1:22:00
  Yes, Drue, we are the really hot witch band from the Scooby
• 1:22:03
  Doos movie. I camera which one exactly? You said, Scooby doo it's
• 1:22:09
  Hex Girls. Yes, yes, I thought of that too. I thought,
• 1:22:14
  all right, all right, let's go. Yeah, good, because
• 1:22:23
  we got like nine molcles. Let's go. So next up, pioneers of
• 1:22:29
  the Felt sound. They've been going since the Sex Yes, true, I
• 1:22:35
  think the actual name of the bands and the color but one we are the
• 1:22:38
  band from the Muppets that features Animal and Doctor Teeth one two three four.
• 1:22:42
  Yeah, you said enough that If you have just said the band from the
• 1:22:44
  Muppets, I might have been like, what I know the members. It's
• 1:22:48
  Doctor Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. Oh yes, oh this is this is
• 1:22:53
  one of those names. But good stuff. Next one. So next up,
• 1:23:00
  the story goes they met and formed the band while in detention. But
• 1:23:04
  I don't think you'd want this drink at your breakfast club. You can write
• 1:23:09
  them off as another Disney Channel band. Whales, Yes, oldre we are
• 1:23:14
  Lemonade Mouth. It is lemonade? Yes? Is that from breakfast club?
• 1:23:19
  Or it's not? That was just meant to be, like, you wouldn't
• 1:23:23
  drink lemonade at breakfast or not at my breakfast? What is that from?
• 1:23:28
  Then it's called Lemonade Mouth. It's just a Disney Channel movie. Oh,
• 1:23:31
  it's just okay, it's its own property. Okay, wow, yeah,
• 1:23:36
  totally one. No, I'm with you, Drew. I think let's get
• 1:23:41
  let's get to the bottom of this. Yeah. I meant that one.
• 1:23:44
  We might be old. The film came out in twenty eleven. We're all
• 1:23:49
  old. So next up, they're an eight piece, but even more than
• 1:23:56
  that if you include the whole class, not the most prominent whale. Yes,
• 1:24:01
  Jason, Yes, we are School of Rock two. Yep. It's
• 1:24:08
  School of Rock from School of Rock, Oh God. Next up, arguably

• 1:25:14
  and flat out good, like you'd pay to see them in real life.
• 1:25:16
  Good, and if their songs are true, they get into fights with a
• 1:25:20
  listers like Keanu Reeves. Oh well wait, yes, Jason, we are
• 1:25:28
  always be my baby band from Yeah Yeah, It's it's Hello Peril from all
• 1:25:36
  as soon as damn No good call, I haven't heard of any of these.
• 1:25:43
  That was a really good movie. Yeah, I love that. A
• 1:25:46
  new movie to watch, Sean, Oh yeah, dude, it's great.
• 1:25:49
  Next up, mostly Woodwind Quintet, but they're known to use a little percussion.
• 1:25:55
  These guys are far far away from what you'd musically expect from people with
• 1:26:00
  deep clefts in their skulls. But that's jazz for you. Yes, we
• 1:26:04
  are the Cantina Band. As soon as he said the word and you cut
• 1:26:13
  him off, I was like, fuck, oh good stuff. Do anyone
• 1:26:15
  know the real name of the Cantina Band. I'm sure I've known at some
• 1:26:18
  point, but not about my head. No, I know I've heard it.
• 1:26:20
  But now it's Figurin Dan and the Modal Nodes playing their classic jiz music
• 1:26:29
  of that jizz Okay. So next up they are pioneers of the late two
• 1:26:35
  thousand's Indiana outdoor concert revival scene. Their subject matter is mostly time Whale.

• 1:27:03
  we are the Clash and team ahead one, two, three, four,
• 1:27:06
  He didn't fall for the trick. That's the v my Montreal queen.
• 1:27:13
  Oh goodness, Wow, we started out rough, but then we hit our
• 1:27:16
  strategy. Yeah, I think the crushed that, right. I think there's
• 1:27:20
  also the issue whenever I think I had this issue with every quick Fire round
• 1:27:25
  is I come up with like one or two that I know we're gonna be
• 1:27:27
  there, and then they're not there, and I'm shocked, and it like
• 1:27:30
  thanks me, which we're gone? Which ones? H And again I luckily
• 1:27:32
  you said franchises because I couldn't remember the name of Charlie's band from Lost Shaft.
• 1:27:39
  Yeah, I had the CD, the boot leg CD that got sold
• 1:27:43
  around. Yeah, I think going in like I had spinal tap and I
• 1:27:46
  figured that would show up. But I was also thinking like folksmen and main
• 1:27:49
  street singers from Mighty Wind, and then like, what was it like still
• 1:27:54
  Water or something from Almost Famous Almost did still Water? Apparently there is also
• 1:28:00
  a real still Water the fakes still Water are based on, and so I
• 1:28:03
  didn't want it. It kind of didn't fully meet the criteria. I think
• 1:28:06
  there's a similar thing with Oh Brother, where art thou the saggy Bottom Boys.
• 1:28:12
  Yeah, I did see that there is also, for some reason,
• 1:28:15
  also wanted to do the the other boy band from Josie and the Pussycats,
• 1:28:20
  the one from the beginning of the movie who's singing Backdoor Lover. It's a
• 1:28:27
  it's I think it's Donald Faison from Scrubs and freaking what's his name? The
• 1:28:33
  Austin Power Movies Green. I need to see that movie. It's one that
• 1:28:39
  like, Oh, it's it's such a dumb but fun movie. Yeah,
• 1:28:41
  it's one that I keep seeing, like, I guess because it's got famous
• 1:28:45
  actors in so I keep seeing on people's lists and stuff of being like,
• 1:28:47
  oh, they did a live action Josie and the Pussycats movie. That must
• 1:28:50
  be insane. Hell yeah. Oh and by the way, if there's ever
• 1:28:55
  a gate Levers spinal tap episode, I am so in. They're also they're
• 1:29:00
  also finally making an official sequel. Yes, I heard this on a podcast.
• 1:29:06
  Yes, is directing Everyone's coming back. It's gonna them as aged rock
• 1:29:14
  stars. Is going to be very funny. I think I need to rewatch
• 1:29:16
  before then. It's been way too long. I saw that movie way too
• 1:29:19
  Oh my goodness, I love that movie so much. Yeah, Seth Green
• 1:29:24
  was the name I was looking for. I couldn't think of Seth Green.
• 1:29:26
  Yes, not literally a green person. I don't know. He could be
• 1:29:32
  eco conscious. I mean Oz is pretty eco conscious and Buffy that's straight,
• 1:29:38
  that's true. Okay. Before we get to the final scores, I'd like
• 1:29:41
  to thank our players. You've all rocked and realized that you were the cause
• 1:29:45
  of most of your anks the whole time. I knew that from the start
• 1:29:50
  to Matt too real. Yes again, before we get to the scores,
• 1:29:57
  Drew, you co host the brilliant Carrying Wayward pod cast. You're a voice
• 1:30:00
  actor. What have you got going on and where can our listeners find you?
• 1:30:04

  your current views. Okay, let's get to the final scores. Oh nervous,
• 1:32:33
  it was close. It was definitely close. We have Subspace Whale Highway
• 1:32:40
  making a great comeback in the third round, staying strong in the final quick
• 1:32:44
  fire round and finishing on twenty points. Okay, and the World boy finish
• 1:32:53
  on eighteen points. So S Whale Highway are our winners. Defeated the entire

  world pilgrim versus the world. We are Scott Pilgrim. I mean, have

  we unleashed something? You hear this is old and Jason on the power of
• 1:33:15
  two captains put together. Uh huh. It was a foregone conclusion. This
• 1:33:20
  is why we're not on the same teams. This is why I was hoping
• 1:33:25
  at the beginning that you guys were going to make Matt mad. So you
• 1:33:30
  get zero points. Yeah, you didn't really poke. Listen, listen.
• 1:33:38
  What what happened was you forgot to do your voice callback and you forgot to

• 1:33:49
  overdo it. Chris Evans, Chris, I put Chris Evans out of a
• 1:33:55
  job. You know you weren't going full Chris Evans. The whole episode ruin
• 1:34:01
  throat at that point. If he goes too far, we can't get him
• 1:34:05
  back. He's just like that for a This is where Chris Evans merits or
• 1:34:14
  Lucas Lucas Lee only answers to Lucas Lee. And if you'd remember to do
• 1:34:19
  that, like sort of every ten minutes, it would have really annoyed me,
• 1:34:21
  and I would have taken points off himself. It's a good job worked
• 1:34:27
  out for I gotta break that one thousand points. I gotta I gotta keep
• 1:34:30
